Description

Laurence Talairach-Vielmas offers a compelling analysis of how Victorian authors depicted femininity through unconventional narrative forms that challenged mainstream realism. This scholarly work examines fairy tales by George MacDonald, Lewis Carroll, Christina Rossetti, Juliana Horatia Ewing, and Jean Ingelow alongside sensation novels by Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Rhoda Broughton, and Charles Dickens. The author argues that feminine representation achieves a hyper-realistic quality precisely within anti-realistic genres such as children's literature and sensation fiction, where the tension between fantasy and reality creates a unique space for exploring how women's bodies and identities were constructed and understood in Victorian culture. This critical examination reveals how these seemingly fantastical narratives actually functioned as powerful vehicles for examining real social anxieties and cultural expectations surrounding women's roles, bodies, and place in society. Published by Routledge, this book provides essential insights for students and scholars of Victorian literature, literary theory, and gender studies.
